Written answers

Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs (Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív)

Since the formation of the Government in May 2008, I have taken one official flight to Brussels (in May) costing €250. I have not incurred any costs in respect of rail or bus transport.

There have been no costs incurred for travel by air, bus or rail at Minister of State level for my Department in the period in question.
